Duss Laakh, I hope people at NED and Karachi University are watching the space!
Great idea, by the way.
great idea as long as it is not open fr the general ones.
only the ones having a little bit of idea factory inside the head will be catrd. i realy do hope sooo.
i had lately been to EXPO center. there i was hoping to be a part of a world record..
2000 men shaving under a same roof.
they gave off some free razors and shaving gel.
and just after people had “lunch”, because of the “regained stamina” they started more of a chaos thing.
in the end no record set or broken.
i must add that the record is owned by India.
the volunteers even begged to show some patriotism .
but sieghs!!!
wait a minute headmaster jee, I thought that nifaaq-ul-madaaris’ top ghundaas had forced cancellation of this event?
Kyaa baat kar rahae ho babvaa?
ACtually, both Pakistan and India could benefit from shaves. Ghundaas, Daakoos, rapists, and rif-raf on both sides have ugly beards. Shareef people on both side should be encouraged to shave. India’s record in this sense is a victory for Pakistan too.
Mastur!
I believe that Pakistanis have enough talent to beat India in the field of IT and other Science fields rather than exposing their body parts for shave.
i admit thts true mastur
but u took me wrong
shaving no shaving isnt the isseu i am talking about
i dont have ay concerns with that..
and hell yes we have got talent
a dirty fish makes the whole pond dirty..
i am talking about the way boys of my age were acting like
i was so much depressed.
@balma
dude i was there , saw the whole thing.
i am trying to piont out the unsincerity of the young generation towards my WATAN PAKISTAN.
(not talking about beating the damned record DAH!!!)
agr bdtmizi main dimgh lga skty ho to positivity main lgao!!!
and by the way . all to molvi bhais were outside protesting.
they wernt permitted to enter.
I hate to burst your bubble, Adnan boy.
Pakistanis can not beat Indians in IT or in Maths and Engineering.
We don’t have right number of right type of schools and the luggan for education or positive things, as MasterJee mentioned.
On the other hand, we have all the energies in the world to protest shaving contests or new year parties at hotels.
Nifaaq-ul-madaaris is one piece of shit organization.
Paasbaan is another idiotic organization that wastes the talent of non-madrasah students on such ghunda gardee issues.
Altaf Shakoor was a jamatee from his NED days, but he has turned into a full fledged mob leader now.
But, to be honest all politcal parties student wings are waste of time and should be curtailed.
Wait a minute Master Jee: What parts were our young boys exposing for the shave? On second thought, please don’t tell me. I don’t want to throw up!
hahahahahahaha
they were obviously shaving their darhis and mounchs.
for the second time i am telling you that the molvi group was standing outside.
problem started within the “shaving arena”…
i have a video of the event.
further more i agree that we have a lot of way to go in the field of IT, Maths and Sciences. But you must agree with me that we have got immense talent if put the right way. India is ahead of us, and there is no argument in accepting so…
and its Headmaster.
blog here buddy. why playing “look i just MOCKED the guy’s username” game??
got ya
well i do hope that the event launched by Nokia will help the people having ideas to come forward and express themselves! its a great platform. the oppurtunity must not be wasted.
agree wid you balam on this.
unaware people full of out of place ego…..dont know where they stand.
most of our professionals are cut and paste type….be it our architects, media , events, actors….sab copy paste hai
so is our programmers.
per phir bhi sahaba…ik muslaman 10 hindu pe bhari hai.
yeh mentality
shair kehtahai
“jindagi jhund mein”
“phir bhi ghumand mein”
wah bhai wah
Balma Mouth COmmando you also claim to be former NEDian but you re not better than your comptetitor,Jamati Altaf Shakoor.
Even your half Brother Zaid Hamid is an Nedian but he is also mouth commando like you.
Adnan, I am not an NEDian! or KUian for that matter.
FYI.
@ balma
so you are a proud dar-ul-alom-ien are you
Which daar-ul-uloom, pajaamay?
Yes, I was educated at a daar-ul-uloom of international repute and spent almost half my life there….and I am old….so that says a lot!
I am not an allama for no reason!
@ Balma,
sir jee, jahan-panha, zill-e-subhani…me tu aap ka alma matter kiy apooch liya aap tu hathaay say ukhaar gai….aaagr aap se aap ki umer pochnay ki gustakhi ker leta tu aap tu mujhay hathi ke paon talay kuchalwa ke dum letay…..ya us keemay ki seekh kabab lagwa ke awam me mufat takseem kerwatay.
by the way….pajama ke size pe mut jaiyoo….pajama chota hu ya bara..pajama pajama hota hai…samjhi sarkar.
mana ke peelay sakool ki pedawar hain…per adhi jindagi hum ne bhi imported dar-ul-uloom me kaali ki hai….
so sir…kuch ij’jat ke hum bhi hakdar theray..agar yehi paimana-e-hasool-e-ij’jaat mukakr hai zamanay mein
